4 days from completing P90x before / after pics...

That's amazing. You have every right to be proud of your success and accomplishments so far! I really would like to try to do P90X but I'm afraid I just won't be able to do it yet...maybe after I lose a little more and feel more confident in my ability to survive it. LOL!

Congratulations and best wishes on your next challenge!

Thanks Laurie !

I think its a great idea to start p90x !! When I first started the program I am not gonna lie it was hard I could not do close to the amount of reps that they were doing on the video. But, each workout I would set my goals a little higher than I had did the previous workout and try to surpass my goal. I started seeing my numbers go up workouts that I originally was hating were becoming my favorites. I also didn't let my ego get in the way of what I was trying to accomplish if I felt like my form was going bad or I had to much weight I would pause or restart that exercise. Quality over quantity and I knew if I did cheat on the exercises the only person that what know and it would affect is myself. The great thing about p90x is it requires nothing but some good equipment , good nutrition( it takes will power I went a party the other day with all kinds of great food there but I knew it was gonna be there so I brought my own lunch , a place to do it and the will power to keep it up for 90 days. I remember before I started it and I was trying to get in shape I would go to the gym and I felt like I had a microscope on me from all the fit people in there ready to critique what or how I working out since I was so obese. So good luck and congrats on deciding to take this journey down the road to healthy living !!!P90x is kinda like when you first learn to ride a bike . you have mini steps to take and eventually you rip the training wheels off, and BRING IT! My only regret is I didnt start it all long time ago . I originally thought P90x doubles would be my next path but I knew in my heart to get to where I want to be Insanity was the better choice. I think it was choice all along but I think deep down inside I was intimidated by it... I cant and wont accept that. I can accept failure but not I cant accept not trying . Good luck on on journey to getting fit=) you can do it!

Did you start this with no formal exercise? because I am really impressed.

Thanks,
Nope , was already in the process of getting on the treadmill every other day for about a month ( doing 45-60 walk/jog)till my body grew a tolerance to what I was doing and I plateaued. While waiting for the p90x discs to arrive I would go on Comcast on demand and do the free exercises they offer in to try and better to prepare myself for what was to come. It helped but the second day after plyo the next morning when I could barely get out of bed I knew I was on the right track.
